FAQs
Does this kit include a suction cup attachment?
No, this specific kit (210019) focuses on mechanical attachments like hooks, a lever, and a chain.
Can this be used on aluminum body panels?
While it can be used, aluminum requires more care than steel as it is more prone to stretching and work-hardening.
Will this tool fix paint chips caused by the dent?
No, this tool is strictly for reshaping the metal. Paint damage will require separate body filler and painting procedures.
Is the carrying case included?
Yes, the product includes a convenient case for organized storage of the hammer and all 10 attachments.
How do I choose the right attachment?
Choose the attachment based on the shape and accessibility of the dent; use hooks for small, localized dents and the chain for larger, broader areas.
Troubleshooting
Slide weight feels sluggish or sticks on the rod
Clean the main shaft of any debris or old grease and apply a thin layer of machine oil.
Attachments keep coming loose during use
Ensure all connection points are tightened firmly and check for worn threads on the adapter ends.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure the vehicle surface is clean. Select the attachment that best fits the size and shape of the dent. Attach it to the slide hammer shaft and tighten the locking mechanism. After each use, wipe down the slide hammer shaft with a light lubricant to prevent oxidation and ensure the weight slides smoothly. Store all attachments back in their designated slots within the plastic case to prevent rust and loss. Avoid using the tool on structural or safety-critical chassis components.
